What is this type of SATA power cable (on the left of the pic) called if anyone knows please? I am needing to connect it up via USB so I can set up a disk clone... its from an Acer laptop, but the HDD itself is smaller than normal 2.5" laptop HDD.

Any help would be great, thanks

Pretty sure it's proprietary, acer laptops sometimes have odd connectors. From what I've seen on the net, any type of adapters are hard to come by, let alone to usb. If you get lucky, you might be able to get an adapter to change it to regular sata. I think the connectors differ from model to model too.
EDIT: look like mogwai is right.

Sounds like you have 1.8 inch hard drive.

Thanks for the help chaps... for anyone else who might need this, its a Micro Sata adaptor that you need to buy. It'll convert it from Micro Sata to Regular Sata.

Thanks again
